EXULTATE VISITED ST JOHN THE BAPTIST CHURCH IN TULANG KUNING - PARUNG

On Sunday 19 September 2010 Exultate sang in the mass led by RD Endro (from Mardiyuwana Printing House) in St Yohanes Baptista Church at Tulang Kuning - Parung. The church itself can be called a "tent church" because it is a real tent. The local church has not got a building permit for their own church. For Exultate, it was the first time to sing there. Before it, Exultate had ever sung in a mass held at Lebak Wangi Restaurant complex... when the liturgical activities in Parung Parish were still held there.


Exultate could sing well although eight of us could not join for several reasons. The problem was the sound of the organ which was not loud... It was an old organ... However, Sheila could play it skillfully.


After the mass, we spontaneously agreed to have brunch at Lebak Wangi Restaurant... Unfortunately Mas Mian had gone home earlier so that he missed this moment. The gathering and the brunch were fun for us... We chatted, we talked, we shared stories... we enjoyed the food: friend fish, karedok, coconut ice, sambal tempe penyet, sayur asem and so on and so forth... It was great.


At about 11 we left Lebak Wangi Restaurant for Bogor...

ECCLESIA DE EUCHARISTIA

On Sunday 29 August 2010 I attended a one-day recollection held by Seksi Liturgi Paroki Katedral BMV Bogor at Sekolah Marsudirini in Telaga Kahuripan Parung - Bogor. The recollection was held for all people who    are involved in liturgy services in the Cathedral. The theme was Sacrament of the Eucharist. The speakers were Father Benyamin Sudarto and Father Yohanes Driyanto.

Father Ben reminded all participants to learn more about Eucharist and put it as the peak and the source of life. Sacrament of the Eucharist is given to us so that we can be united with God in reality.

Father Driyanto gave new perspectives on the Eucharist according to the Canon law. Liturgical activities and other things related to them are based on rules and regulations and can be accounted with the Bible, the traditions, the Church documents, and the writings of Church's fathers.

We are all sent to encourage everyone to give more attention to the Eucharist liturgy so that we can get the fruits of the presence of God.

(Thomas A. Sutadi)

EXULTATE'S 16TH ANNIVERSARY GATHERING

Today, Sunday 1 August 2010, Exultate had a gathering to celebrate our 16th anniversary at Keboen in Jalan Pajajaran Bogor. 

Before the gathering, Exultate had to serve in the Cathedral at 9.00. Led by Father Benyamin Sudarto, the mass ran well and Exultate could sing quite well too. Coincidently we had to sing gregorian ordinarium (missa de Angelis). 


After the Eucharist we went to Keboen. The idea to have such gathering actually came from Bapak A.J. Radjino. He is also the one who had an idea to make new uniforms for Exultate. As everybody has known, the late Ibu A.K. Radjino was the founder of Exultate. So far Pak Radjino has supported Exultate to continue the spirit of the late Ibu Radjino to serve the Church. 


During the gathering, we shared stories, feelings and ideas. It was a happy moment although not all members could attend this event.

TODAY'S NEWS (31/7/2010)

Today Exultate had to sing in the holy matrimony mass led by RD Benyamin Sudarto at the Cathedral from 9.00 to 10.30. Seventeen (17) members took part in the task. Luckily Sheila could play the organ well so that the small group could sing confidently. The assignment could be done without any incidents.

Tonight there'll be a choir practice as usual.

EXULTATE NEWS JUNE-JULY 2010

Today, Sunday 18 July 2010, Exultate sang for the third mass at 9.00 which was led by Father Yohanes Driyanto. Conducted by Thomas A. Sutadi, Exultate choir sang liturgical songs such as "Hai Dunia Buka Pintumu", "Ambillah, Tuhan", "Adoro Te", "Tuhan Yesus Kau Hadir Kini", and "Kudapatkan di Hatiku". From about 35 active members, only 21 members could join the task this morning. Mbak Mira helped Exultate with her organ performances.

For the last few months Exultate has lost some members because they moved to other places or become busy with their new jobs and activities. Mbak Ika moved to North Sumatra; Parnamian Johanes moved to Jambi; Sheila has been busy with her new job; some others have been on their holidays or other activities.

In August 2010, Exultate will celebrate the sixteenth anniversary... There will be a gathering. In this opportunity, Pak Radjino would like to invite all Exultate members and ex-members to gather to celebrate. We are now preparing for it.

Thanks for some people who have joined and want to join.
